Boiling point

The organizing committee of the school teams that came to participate in the competition this time settled in the Beigang Business Hotel. Everyone can meet each other upstairs and downstairs, and basically figured out their respective backgrounds within half a day.

No. [-] and No. [-] are powerful rivals. They don't want to draw any of them in the semi-finals, but God's wish is not fulfilled. Tonight's match list is drawn out. In the first game of the semi-finals, No. [-] vs. No. [-] .

Before coming here, Xu Lan was hit by his brother, so he voluntarily resigned from the captain's position and let Li Yanqi take the lead. He obeyed the organization's orders at any time.Li Yanqi doesn't want to take on such a thankless job. He has a sophomore and a few seniors. Even if Xu Lan has a big nerve and won't mind, it is inevitable that some people will not be convinced and destroy the unity and tacit understanding of the whole team. Then he What a sinner of all ages.

The role of the captain is not easy to play. You must have the ability to make overall plans and have the vision to mediate internal conflicts. Too strong, too decisive, too casual, and too soft will not work.

Li Yanqi accepted this irresponsible blame, so he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. While He Xin was sleeping next to him, he took the time to write a battle plan, and took the whole team to the gymnasium next door to practice early the next morning.

Beigang's special breakfast is mochi, which can be eaten full of sesame stuffing with one bite. Others think it is too sweet, so they go to the next door to eat soup dumplings and steamed buns. He Xin never refuses sweet food. He ate three in one breath, and when he was about to take the fourth, Li Yanqi took one from his hand.

He Xin saw his dark circles clearly, and frowned, "You didn't sleep last night?"

Li Yanqi yawned, took a sip of soy milk next to him, "I'm not used to sharing a room with others, it's too noisy."

He Xin took the red heart mochi from the owner's hand and blew it, "Is Zheng Feng snoring while sleeping?"

"It's more than that." Li Yanqi sighed, "He grinds his teeth and talks in his sleep. He even has a fighting spirit in his dreams. He turned over several times in the middle of the night and cursed. I was woken up as soon as I fell asleep."

"It would be nice for him to have this attitude when he plays, and he won't be intercepted every time." He Xin suddenly thought of something, and looked back at Zheng Feng, "Did you notice? Personally, something is not right when I come back."

Li Yanqi originally thought that he was too sensitive, so he thought that Zheng Feng knew those people from the Fifth Middle School, but He Xin also noticed this. Sometimes, he wandered away from the crowd and watched everything silently. Be more careful than others.

"What's wrong?" Li Yanqi asked tentatively.

He Xin tapped the railing lightly with her hand, shook her head and said, "I can't tell, it's a kind of detective instinct."

Li Yanqi laughed, "I'm the captain for you."

"Don't." He Xin pointed to the group of people behind, "I'm too lazy to be a middleman like the neighborhood committee aunt."

Li Yanqi didn't speak, he stirred the tofu nao in the bowl, and couldn't help but smile when he saw He Xin eating happily, "Is this really so delicious?"

He Xin handed the remaining sip of mochi to his mouth and said, "It's soft and sweet, very appetizing, would you like to try it?"

Li Yanqi stared at the place he had bitten for a long time, and suddenly a word popped up in his mind, indirect kissing.

Looking at He Xin's side face illuminated by the sun, his heart skipped a beat and he became a little dizzy.

He shook the thought away again.

After struggling mentally for a long time, Li Yanqi didn't want He Xin to think that he suddenly became strange, so he leaned over to take a bite, but He Xin silently withdrew his hand back.

"Forget that you have a cleanliness habit, I'll buy you another one." He Xin said as he ate the last bite of mochi, and then paid for another one from the proprietress.

Holding the freshly baked red heart mochi, Li Yanqi felt that he looked like an idiot after struggling for a long time. He lowered his head and coughed, pretending nothing happened, and quickly killed the whole mochi.

It's not tasty, it's too sweet.

But when He Xin asked him "Is it delicious?", he actually said it was not bad against his will.

This morning, there was no one practicing on the basketball court in the gymnasium. They played two brisk games. They were sweating in the cold weather. He Xin took off his jacket and practiced bouncing on the spot wearing only a T-shirt.

Xu Lan and Li Yanqi were discussing countermeasures, and Zheng Feng joined in midway and listened carefully.

"Just like what Brother Xu said last time, I will do my best to ensure that He Xin scores. Currently, his technical level is above ours. Whether it is a three-pointer or a block, he has an 80.00% chance to make a shot."

Xu Lan nodded in agreement, "He Xin forward, you protect him, I am in the rear, Sun Wei protects me, Zheng Feng and Feng Binrui are responsible for opening the way for us."

Li Yan hummed, "If there are any changes, then make adjustments according to the situation." He glanced at Zheng Feng with a serious expression and said, "Senior, you may not be in the right shape for this morning's practice, it's okay, wait for the fifth middle school in the afternoon. After the team members arrive, there will be a simulated basketball game, and then we will cheer together."

Zheng Feng seemed unwilling to say something, but in the end he kept the overall situation in mind, turned around and left.

Based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, Li Yanqi didn't rush to ask him why, but what is certain is that Zheng Feng must know people from the Fifth Middle School. To be more precise, he also has something to beat them No reason.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the talents from No. [-] Middle School arrived late, and an hour had passed since the agreed simulation practice time. Xu Lan and the others were a little impatient. They didn't expect these people to blow a disdainful whistle to them as soon as they came in. , to show provocation.

The fifth middle school came to participate in the basketball game in a very good posture. Not only did they have a specially customized set of jerseys and shoes, but also the exclusive cheerleaders came to help out. These few people in No. [-] Middle School were extremely cold.

The captain of the Fifth Squadron is a strong man about the height of He Xin, very strong, about as strong as three Liao sisters.

Nicknamed Dapeng, he looks aggressive and arrogant, and his nostrils are upturned.

Li Yanqi shook hands with the man with his expression unchanged, and said a few words casually. He didn't want to hear the other party's rhetoric, so he turned his head and gestured to the referee.

The stadium closes at [-] o'clock, and it is really not easy for them to win the heavy defense of No. [-] Middle School in the two-hour simulation game.

In the first half, He Xin temporarily led by three points alone. During the intermission, Li Yanqi brought him a bottle of water, telling him not to fight so hard, keep his strength, and sneak them tomorrow.

He Xin panted for a while, raised his head and took a sip of water, wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel, his shoulder blades on his back stretched out two beautiful curves, he tilted his head and smiled confidently at Li Yanqi, "I It's only 50.00% of the power."

Li Yanqi applauded him, and stuffed a lemon candy into his hand, "Take it easy, I'll go and see Zheng Feng, he's really not in the right condition."

He Xin narrowed her eyes, and leaned against the back of the chair to fill another bottle of water, "Go to the captain, let him stop fucking indiscriminately throwing himself."

Li Yanqi walked towards Zheng Feng's position, but Zheng Feng didn't give him a chance to have a brief chat. He got up from the ground, threw off the towel hanging from his body, hesitated for a while, and turned to Dapeng. go.

He Xin and Li Yanqi turned their heads at the same time, feeling a premonition that something bad was going to happen in their hearts.

Xu Lan was also dumbfounded, and reached out to grab Zheng Feng but failed.

Dapeng looked at him, stretched out his thumb and pointed down to compare with him.

Zheng Feng burst into flames and took a sudden step to beat someone up. Dapeng took a step back, raised his chin and looked at him with arrogant eyes. The team members behind him rushed up and shouted. The momentum of not giving up without a fight.

Logically speaking, at this time, no matter what, I have to help my team members stand up and support the scene. Xu Lan and Sun Wei have already dropped the ball and ran to Zheng Feng's side. Feng Binrui hesitated for a while and followed. Only He Xin and Li Yanqi stood in the original The ground didn't move.

The referee blew the whistle, and the organizing committee saw that the situation was not right and hurried over to pull people away. The manager in charge of the game shouted loudly, "Friendly match, friendly match! You are going to see blood in a mock match! You have a bad temper! Well, you are very courageous. If you are so awesome, why do you want to fight? Disqualify them all! Don’t fight anyone!"

Li Yanqi tugged at his jersey, and just when he was about to say something, he saw He Xin bent over to pick up the basketball and threw it towards them. The scoreboard frowned impatiently, "Are you still playing? If you want to play, hurry up and kick off."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and each of them calmed down a bit. With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began in such a tense atmosphere.

After such a commotion, everyone's mentality has collapsed.

Basically the whole field was roaring and fighting, and everyone was followed by a small flame, which would explode on the spot at the slightest provocation.

Zheng Feng was eager to win, and the more he ran, the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. He missed several shots and gave the opponent a few points in vain. He Xin ran all over the field desperately, but he still fell behind by several points.He chased wildly all the way, and in the last round, his strength was also confiscated. When Li Yanqi threw the ball at him, he stepped back and accidentally knocked down Zheng Feng who was going to grab the ball from him. He quickly stretched out his hand to help him , the center of gravity of the body shifted immediately, and Zheng Feng twisted his right foot improperly.The game had to be suspended, and the score of No. [-] Middle School was already tied, and they even won by [-] points. They lost this mock game completely.

No one expected that a simulation match would be so intense. No matter who made a mistake or an accident, it would be meaningless to pursue it now. Everyone was a little frustrated, and no one spoke during the whole process of sending Zheng Feng to the hospital.

Zheng Feng's foot was indeed sprained. The doctor said that it is best not to do strenuous exercise for a month. Xu Lan became anxious immediately and asked at the top of his voice, what should I do if there is a basketball game tomorrow?

"Let's do it like this, if you want to lose your leg, just continue to insist." The doctor told them to pay the fee, and rang the bell to let the next patient come in.

Feng Binrui and Sun Wei went to pay the fee. Zheng Feng stared at his sneakers without saying a word. He was silent for a long time before regretting and apologizing to everyone, "I'm sorry, I did something wrong this time. I have a personal grudge against Dapeng. It should be in the basketball game, I couldn't help it, I'm really sorry."

Xu Lan asked, "What happened to you and him?"

Zheng Feng gritted his teeth angrily, "He stole my girlfriend."

Feng Binrui said, "That's it? You can't come back even if you beat his girlfriend."

Zheng Feng sneered, "Yeah, but I made a bet with him before, and I said that I would beat him personally on the basketball court, and I would let my girlfriend see with her own eyes that I am better than him, stronger than him .”

Sun Wei sighed and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Holding the medical record card in his hand, Zheng Feng suddenly raised his head to look at Li Yanqi, "So I must play tomorrow's game, you can't let me rest."

Li Yanqi rejected him decisively, "No."

Zheng Feng argued unwillingly, Li Yanqi pointed at the medical record card written by the doctor, and shook his head again.

"If I don't play tomorrow, he will definitely laugh at me!" Zheng Feng hugged his head and shouted, "I can't be looked down upon by him, and I can't be looked down upon by my girlfriend!"

"Childish." A very light laugh.

Everyone turned their heads to look at He Xin who was standing against the wall. He shook his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, walked up to them, and looked at Zheng Feng fixedly, "Do you think you're going to have a good day today?" Do they think highly of you after making such a fuss?"

Zheng Feng yelled, "You fucking know nothing!"

He Xin folded her arms and sneered, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. It's for your own good that you are not allowed to play. Team battles are not individual battles. The world doesn't revolve around you alone. If you are injured, you should rest well." , don’t worry about other things.”

Zheng Feng stared at him, his mind was in a mess with anger, and he began to speak indiscriminately, "Who did I get hurt? And what qualifications do you have to say that this is a team battle? You are the only one who is in the limelight, and the applause can't be heard." Because of you, everyone will surround you!"

"This is a competition, not a stage. Whoever wants the limelight is the one who wants the limelight. If you have what I have, you are welcome to replace the striker position at any time. I will let you do so unconditionally." He Xin laughed angrily, "I don't want to quarrel with you, In short, you don't want to participate in tomorrow's game, I must win, and I don't want to miss the final because of you."

Zheng Feng suddenly stood up from the chair, "I must."

He Xin raised her eyelids and gave him a sideways glance, "No, I won't allow it."

"Why don't you allow it? Are you the captain? It was so nice to say before, we are a team, no matter what we have to advance and retreat together, now?" Zheng Feng's face was extremely ugly, "Don't think I don't know You look down on me, what did you say when you played today, do you dare to say that you didn't scold me for playing badly?"

He Xin said solemnly, "I said you because you played too freely in the last game. Who the hell plays according to his own temperament? You caused me to lose today. I have never lost before."

"Your win or loss is so important!" Zheng Feng said, "My win or loss is nothing? Why are you so selfish?"

He Xin lowered her eyes indifferently, clenched her fists and put them down again, pressed the fire and fucked softly.

"Who's the fuck?" Zheng Feng was so aggrieved, he lost his mind and rushed over to grab He Xin's collar, saying viciously, "Say the fuck again!"

Li Yanqi looked at Zheng Feng staring at He Xin with red eyes, he would definitely make He Xin anxious soon, this matter was already very difficult, but He Xin bumped into the muzzle of the gun, he sighed, He walked towards them quickly, grabbed one of them with one hand, and tore them apart.

"Your win or loss, mine win or lose, are all ours." Li Yanqi raised his face and said to Zheng Feng, "Calm down, don't you think the matter is not big enough? I said no to go, just don't go .”

Zheng Feng smiled, "You and He Xin have always been in the same nest, you're a fucking captain."

Xu Lan yelled, "Is that enough, Zheng Feng? Are you going to make trouble with your own people?"

Li Yanqi looked at them silently, finally rubbed his fingertips and turned to He Xin, his lips moved slightly and said, "He Xin, please apologize to him."

He Xin choked for a moment, paused for a while to straighten the neckline, and looked up at Li Yanqi in disbelief.

Li Yanqi didn't avoid his gaze, squeezed his shoulder and said, "No matter what, it's more or less your fault that he can't play, and also, you scolded too much on the court."

He Xin didn't respond, and it took a lot of effort to calm down and say, "You want me to apologize?"

Li Yanqi turned his head and gave Xu Lan a wink, then turned to look at him, "Let's go downstairs and have a talk."

There is a small wall behind the hospital, and when you turn it over, there is a barren weed. No one came. He Xin and Li Yanqi stood there facing each other, waiting for the other to speak first.

The moonlight was very faint, and the coverage area was less than a few steps. Li Yanqi looked at He Xin's face hidden in the shadows, and for a moment didn't know how to explain his thoughts, his position and his helplessness.

"It's not worth being angry about this kind of thing like a girl. I don't mean anything else, I just don't want Zheng Feng to affect me tomorrow." He Xin calmed down and said.

Li Yanqi said, "I know, I won't let him play."

He Xin kicked the dirt twice, and seemed to smile slightly, "Then why did you ask me to apologize?"

Li Yanqi walked closer to him, "Since I have assumed the title of captain, I must settle this matter. I don't want to make trouble when I go back."

"I'm already unhappy." He Xin said, "The source of the unhappiness is not because of me."

"Is it because of you?" Li Yanqi sighed, "But you fueled the flames of unhappiness. When the dust has not settled in the game, it is the best way to calm things down."

He Xin said, "Do you want to make peace with others by choosing to compromise? Sorry, I won't."

Li Yanqi looked at him and said in silence for a moment, "But at some point we have to choose to compromise. Compromise is not because of fear of trouble, not because of cowardice, not because of mistakes, but because this is the best solution at present."

He Xin's voice sounded, "I don't have as many winding thoughts as you. One thing can be divided into countless small things to consider. I don't take care of the overall situation as much as you do. Everyone is on the same level. There is only one purpose, anyone who affects my winning the game, get the fuck out of me."

Li Yanqi heard his sarcasm clearly, and frowned at him, "Can you be more mature?"

As soon as the words came out, the place was very quiet for a while, and the look in He Xin's eyes slowly dimmed. He kicked the wall and turned his head to look at Li Yanqi, "My immaturity stems from my desire to win. , do you know why I want to win so much?"

because of you.

It's all fucking because of you!

Of course Li Yanqi knew, so he regretted what he blurted out just now when he was provoked, he reached out to stop him, and was pushed away by the other party just as he was about to say something.

"You know shit."

"He Xin!" Li Yanqi took a few steps forward, but he raised his hand to block her back.

"Stay away from me." He Xin said without turning her head.

The conversation collapsed as expected, Li Yanqi knew very well that the moment he asked He Xin to apologize, they were doomed to break up tonight, but he really had no other way, if he didn't stop it then, He Xin He will definitely be beaten up, and it will be even more impossible to end by then.

Learn to accept and compromise in disguise, which one is easier?

Perhaps it was difficult for He Xin at this age.

But for him, who has always been cautious and steady, it is something that can be done with just one eye closed.

Li Yanqi took out his mobile phone and called He Xin, but the other party hung up.

He sighed and looked up at the misty starry sky.

He remembered what Liao Mei said to him, you are too sensible, so sensible that no one can feel that you are special to anyone.

He Xin ran around the unknown street with his mind free, still feeling irritated and breathless, he stopped in the small park, sat on a chair and dialed a video for Wu Rui.

The other side quickly picked it up, and Wu Rui tied a red ribbon on his head, which means that you will win if you cheer, and he is biting the penholder and writing the questions seriously.

"You finally remember that there is someone like me." Wu Rui said, "A wolf-hearted scumbag!"

He Xin's expression was not very good, and he quickly saw the clue.

"Have you quarreled with someone or what?"

He Xin stared at the screen, pondered for two seconds and asked, "Am I very immature?"

Wu Rui laughed, "How can you? You are much more mature than me, so you look like a prick."

He Xin thought about it, coughed and said, "Let me tell you something, a classmate in my school...he plays basketball, and this time, he really wants to win... "

Wu Rui was stunned for a long time after listening, "I don't quite understand your classmate's displeasure, can you understand?"

He Xin tapped the screen, "I don't understand."

Wu Rui thought seriously, "Listen, let me analyze it for you. You, ah no, you are a classmate. This person must be very stubborn. He is used to doing his own thing, so he doesn't know how to be soft. He cares about this competition very much. He I want to win, so I don't allow any variables to appear, and then the other classmate made an accident, he was very upset, and before he vented it, he was scolded by someone in the face, feeling that his face was very damaged, and he was holding his breath, so He is very unhappy now." Looking up at He Xin on the opposite side of the screen, Wu Rui rested his chin and made a final decision, "According to the analysis of the famous detective Wu Xiaohou, this student should be getting angry because of his anger, so I speculate It should be the person he cares about the most, this kind of anger has another name, which is 'I think you are very important, but you don't give me face and you scold me, I am very wronged'."

He Xin was a little shocked by the analysis of Wu Xiaohou, a master of psychology. He propped up the seat with his hands, stood up and sat down.

According to what he said, the reason why he became popular was that Li Yanqi favored Zheng Feng. He always thought that the two of them were the best. not special".

This is too.......stingy, He Xin fell silent.

But still upset.
